  • Q3
    Which pump type is commonly used for high pressures?
    Dynamic pumps
    Centrifugal pumps
    Flow pumps
    Positive displacement pumps
    30s
  • Q4
    What method do dynamic flow pumps use to maintain fluid flow?
    Electrical energy
    Momentum of the fluid
    Gravity
    Vacuum pressure
    30s
  • Q5
    How do positive displacement pumps operate?
    They create a vacuum to draw in fluid
    They continuously flow fluid without trapping it
    They trap individual portions of fluid in an enclosed area.
    They compress fluid to increase pressure

  • Q6
    What is the main characteristic of centrifugal pumps?
    Used for low volumes
    Used for high volumes
    Used for low pressures
    Used for high pressures
    30s
  • Q7
    What do dynamic flow pumps maintain across an unsealed chamber?
    Constant flow of fluid
    Decreasing volume
    Variable flow
    Increasing pressure
    30s
  • Q8
    In contrast to dynamic pumps, positive displacement pumps move what?
    Fluid in a continuous stream
    Fluid from one sealed chamber to another
    Fluid using air pressure
    Fluid through open channels
    30s
  • Q9
    What is a key difference between dynamic and positive displacement pumps?
    Their energy source
    Their method of fluid movement
    Their cost
    Their size
    30s
  • Q10
    What is the significance of the term 'unsealed chamber' in relation to dynamic pumps?
    It shows the size of the pump
    It indicates how fluid is moved continuously.
    It relates to the type of energy used
    It determines the pressure levels
